These are gen 1 (not a bad deal... just far inferior to the newer gen 2 Ultras)

They are not "far inferior" according to soundguys:

Ordered a set. Hopefully they're decent.

$149 with coupon on the actual Bose site. Slickdeals is basically an Amazon ad these days.

Edit: My bad, was looking at the standards, not the Gen 1 ultras.

I use both gens daily, I keep the Gen 2s on me during the day and I take the Gen 1s to the gym and use it to bed. The Gen 2 ANC is noticeably better and the ear tips don't hold/gather earwax as much as Gen 1s.

Supposedly these QC Ultras earbuds are better than the 2nd gen QC earbuds (non ultra)? I had a pair of gen 1 QC earbuds, great ANC, comfortable, untill one of the earbuds just died on me. Looking for a replacement right now.

These have been my favorite headphones for the last 3 years. Great sounding with a very secure fit. Highly recommended (especially at this price).

I have both gen 1 and gen 2; call microphone quality is terrible with Gen1 , other party cannot hear or understand me at all.

Also, note that Bose has been removing features via firmware updates, which I have not been happy about. I switched from Sony after their firmware nuked battery life in Xm4 buds, and now Bose decontents their products via firmware:

XM6. Outstanding earbuds. Comfortable, incredible ANC, and the first response curve I haven't felt the need to adjust with Wavelet. Call quality is great - no one could hear me with XM5 or Ultra 1 (especially the Bose). Case is a little clunky, but otherwise perfect. XM5 vs Ultra 1 was always a toss-up for me - ANC a little better on Ultra 1, XM5 a little more fun to listen to. Not sure which pair gets the backup job, but XM6 is the starter for sure.

Are there any other options like this with "fins" that compete with this?

XM6 [ebay.com]

It has been $130 for a few weeks but been in and out of stock on a daily basis. I bought one a couple of days ago for $104 with the 20%-off coupon. The seller just raised the price so it would be $109 after the coupon when in stock.

I have been chasing it for a while. 2 days ago it went out of stock while I was signing into Paypal and the order failed 😔 Also have the gen 1 ultra and xm5. Xm5 wins with S25 ultra for music (LDAC support) and gen 1 ultra for ANC during flight.
